it all sounds great :)

a daily run would be brilliant but there are kit issues for me (so much laundry?) plus am old and injure self easily

will have to make do with riding today but run tomorrow

Kitchen - some days all I can fit in is a walk round the village. As it is lashing it down here today, I think I am going to have to drag out the Wii Fit board or use the walker that's gathering dust in the garage!

Hi all... Sound a like a good start for you all! . I am here but mad RL week and forgot to update.

Ive run 3 times and walked every day. Next week will try to run 5 days. Tennis with DS for 2 hours tomorrow and probably a long walk Sun, does that count or does it need to be a daily run?

Really need to do some core work... Anyone got advice on a good online resource for lifting weights? Or circuits I could do in the garden

Hi all, still plodding on with it but tapering for HM is making it all look a bit pathetic! Today is total rest day so I have been reduced to walking to and for train station to work and school pickup for juneathon contribution! About 45 minutes total... Tomorrow, an exciting 15 min run on the schedule!

poor thing, hope it all feels better soon - children generally mend a bit more promptly than adults don't they? enjoy the run tonight, I'm going for a little one in a minute :)

DD is on the mend. Her foot thankfully isn't broken but she has done some soft tissue damage. No PE (running) this week for her but she's going to give swimming with school a go tomorrow.

I have decided that my round-the-village walk (2.5k) will be a daily occurrence and tonight I added a 3.5k run to my daily tally!

hope she is ok too, am still addicted to handstands even at my advanced age and sometimes they do go wrong Confused

I forgot to link you roquefort to the daily yoga thing from doyouyoga.com, am on day 11 and it's 'restorative yoga' I find them a bit variable but they conveniently land in my email most days

did my 3 miles, was getting desperate as had spent the day shifting heavy. awkwardly shaped things out of a 5th floor flat into a ka and then to a first floor flat (no lifts obviously) and eventually I just had to piss off and do laps of the little meadow until the miles were achieved

running plan weirdly has TWO rest days in a row this week (do not agree with more than one day between runs) so not sure what to do for juneathon, I could possibly swim, timetable/nerves permitting

Hope your daughter is ok today dizzy. Half hour run for me squeezed in between work and school pickup!

dizzyday07 · 03/06/2014 22:47

DD had a tumble last night doing handstands so the rest of the evening was spent in A&E so my planned run didn't happen :(

All I had time to fit in today were 2 walks - a 2.5k around the village, and a 3k trip to the Post Office!

roquefortlover · 03/06/2014 21:12

I might try your yoga thing later in the week Mitchy,it might be a good loosener before or after my half on Sunday! Slow start to juneathon forme, but otoh have done something every day, and am not meant to be running too much this week due to tapering for aforementioned half. So not too bad! Trying not to eat too much in misguided attempt at carb loading.....

good work! How was day 2, and 3 so far? Yesterday I did the 3 easy miles from running plan and walked same distance in evening. Today is meant to be a rest day so did a runner's world yoga thing which was great.

Day 1 done! 4.5k cycle ride with DD

IdkickJilliansAss · 01/06/2014 17:03

My DH went on a 126 mile ride today, I want to pretend it was me!

have cycled 12 miles but blogging on this phone will be far too much effort

I was just about to say 'what am I likely to see where I run' but actually I ran into the unlicensed shotgun man again the other day, turns out he shoots rabbits for the owl sanctuary

but he is really fucking weird, full camouflage as if the bunnies are likely to see him and return fire

will just let it be boring then I can go on and on about cadence and calories and stuff

Lie about weird things you saw on the run!

how is one meant to make a blog about running slowly and not even for a very long way remotely interesting though?
